The reaction between 2-furancarboxaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone was reinvestigated as a part of a systematic study on low molecular weight colored compounds from the Maillard reaction. In acetic acid/piperidine, besides 2-(2-furanylmethylene)-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (1) and 5-[2-(2-furanyl)ethenyl]-2-(2-furanylmethylene)-4-hydroxy-5-methyl -3( 2H)-furanone (2), four novel compounds, 15a

Formation of the flavor compound and precursor 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3[2H]-furanone (HMF, norfuraneol) was demonstrated in cytosolic protein extracts obtained from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii after incubation with a number of carbohydrate phosphates. 4-Hydroxy-5-methyl-3[2H]-furanone was produced from d-fructose-1,6-diphosphate, d-fructose-6-phosphate, d-glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, d-ribose-5-phosphate, and d-ribulose-1,5-diphosphate.
